‘Souper Bowl’ collection set for this weekend

Hot soup on a cold day can be one of the most nourishing things — and locals have the opportunity to help their neighbors get some of that nourishment.
On Friday and Saturday, Feb. 3 and 4, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Weaver’s Market on Route 272 in Reinholds is teaming up with volunteers from Faith United Lutheran Church to collect canned goods and monetary donations for the Cocalico-area food distribution ministry, Peter’s Porch.
“Last year 4,600 cans were collected along with $702,” said Pastor Joe Veras.
Peter’s Porch serves upward to nearly 200 people each month.
While soup was the No. 1 kind of canned good donated at the first “Souper Bowl” collection, any canned food item is acceptable. Monetary donations are also useful to this area ministry.
Any questions may be directed to 717-336-2141, Faith United Lutheran Church, Denver.
